Yes, clearly these are all borderline penalties that the refs are simply calling out of spite.
If a Keith flying elbow isnt a 5 min major, I don't see how Bitz was, but that's just me.
not hard to control a game when you're constantly up 5-4...
EDIT: Nice hit by Kes.
One bad call? Potentially legit but a waste but a good team should be able to make up for it.
A series of calls which suggest the referees are LA fans out to sabotage the chance for Vancouver to win the cup? Quite the conspiracy.
Its not like Vancouver magically ended up on the penalty kill as much as it has.

That was bound to happen when it's 7 on 4. *shrug*
The Canucks need to stay out of the fucking box. It's no surprise LA has the momentum when they've spent so much time on the power play. Just bone-headed play by the Canucks. Feels like they're expecting their talent to win them the game. They need to strap on the work boots and start skating and making it happen instead of waiting for it to happen.
Mitchell. Wow.
Kept saying Anaheim should've gone after him last TD.
So I just came back from soccer, do anyone have a GAF on the hit that set Weber of? That was some crazy rage mode, something should happen.Go Preds!
And the refs really messed up on that goalie interference that wasn't called
I'm not saying the calls are undeserved, I'm saying they're unnecessary. No need for the Canucks to take them, it's their own fault. --> Hence LA dominating, because they're constantly up 5-4. Canucks' fault more than it is a quality sign of LA.
You sound as stupid as the fans calling Bullshit after a blatant elbow to the head.
lets just call this game already. the best teams have won today. lookin forward to tomorrows games
Man, I remember when the Wings used to play like Vancouver has tonight. I was always confident even when we were down 3.

EDIT: Wait, there was a hit before that?

also bertuzzi throwing blows at gaustad as time ran down. but who needs gifs of that?
Thx for the free 2 pts, Briquettes Fan...wait, that's just a regular season occurrence.
We'll see you in the playoffs...wait, that isn't going to happen anytime soon in Calgary
Um...thank you for your contribution?
Someone better make sure Henrik "I LIKE PUTTING MY STICK AROUND PEOPLE" Sedin gets the message.Oh wow, what a deflection by Brown lol.
I'm so happy to see that IF we stay with 5on5 hockey, we definitely got this. So here's to staying out of the box in the 3rd and winning it.
Sef wrote something about a knee on knee but i don't know, he seems to be on a trolling spree![]()
So do I point out that the Kings almost completely dictated play, or do I point out that the game is tied despite the Kings getting eight 5 on 3's and an unprecedented 25 minute match major league expulsion to interrupt their consistent 2 minute powerplays?
Two very different ways to look at this game from a Canucks fan POV.
Calgary every single year:
>before season: make no significant moves
>trade deadline and most likely sitting in 9th place: "we feel confident with the pieces we have in place right now"
>finish season in 10th or 11th and do nothing about it while kipper and iggy continue to age
An easy 5 minute call on a scrub. It wasn't predatory so much as reckless, and yeah it sucks to be the depth guy and know you have 45 seconds to make a positive impression but if the hits not there you have to ease up. Instead it was a textbook major penalty.What'd you guys think about Bitz's hit?
